Specialists In Gandia are making appointments in their hospital for next May .

Beniarbeig mayor alerted all of the emergency services but they were not needed .
Low lying areas in Gandia were flooded for several hours and the police had to close some roads .
Rain which is torrential will always find the flaws in infrastructure and that is what hapened last week when the Costa Blanca had another downpour .
It showed up the lack of drainage on Gandia beach plus maintenance issues at a school in Tavernes de la Valldigna .
Now town councils are reviewing their contingency plans and ensuring that the infrastructure can stand up to the next torrent of rain .

In April 2007 the regional government came to an agreement about with central government about the upgrading of the Gandia -Oliva - Denia rail link .
The documentation concerning this move has still not been signed and it has most certainly not been catered for in the 2008 budget and now it is not in the 2009 budget either .
The first phase has been completed but the remaining two are going to cost 60 million euros and Valencia is demanding that this is paid for by the Ministry of Public Works .
Inland areas of the northern Costa Blanca and Valencia suffered the heavy rain which was predicted .
The rain disrupted the roads all over the provinces . Ferry crossings were also disrupted .In Real de Gandia the rains dislodged large rocks and they rolled onto the AP7 forcing its closure .
In Denia and Gandia the heavy winds closed the ports for 24 hours , not a ship leaving or entering the ports .
Many large events in the country were either cancelled , rescheduled or they were relocated to indoors .
